(as the patient),

I was taken to cath lab after heart attack then ccu. the staff were all superb could not fault them. The food was disgusting I was in for 2 weeks and not once did I eat the dinners. for example  pie and beans pie was freezing beans were congealed, chicken casserole, the chicken was so dry after one bite I needed to take a large drink. Fish and chips fish was grey and chips were freezing. I could go on and on if I complained I got a dry sandwich in its place The only thing I ate was the soup. I was in 3 years ago and complained about the food then but I can say that was lovey compared to the food served today On the second week I asked my daughter to bring me up food as was hungry. Again the staff from the doctor s to the nurses to the cleaners were great such a shame about the food.

Dear jacs64

I am sorry to hear that you felt the food at Hairmyres has not improved since your last hospital admission.

I would like to apologies that the catering manager was not made aware of your concerns about the quality of the food during your admission. If the catering manager had been contacted they would have been happy to visit the ward to discuss your concerns.

Regards

William
